BMW Motorrad USA has announced its 2015 motorcycle and scooter lineup at the Progressive International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, CA today. This includes pricing and available equipment for those models which were manufactured during BMW’s August through October production schedule. It does not include BMW Motorrad’s newest models, the F800R, R1200R, R1200RS, S1000RR and S1000XR which were announced recently at the Intermot and EICMA motorcycle shows in Europe.

New-for-2015 BMW F800R pricing will come later.

With the technology first introduced on the HP4 trickling down to the new S1000RR it’s not surprising to see the HP4 has been discontinued for 2015. BMW is also keeping the base G650GS but has nixed the G650GS Sertão edition. And BMW Motorrad USA is only importing one scooter to the US market, the C650GT. The C650 Sport as well as BMW’s maxi-scooter “Exclusive” editions of the C650 Sport and C650GT will only be sold in Europe and other markets where there is more scooter demand.

BMW Motorrad has also announced they will be charging separately for metallic paint work on most models starting in 2015. This affects not just the US market but all markets according to BMW. This gives those who opt for non-metallic paint a lower price and allows BMW to market a lower base price.

While BMW Motorrad USA has not announced pricing for their newest models, BMW has announced pricing for all except the S1000RR in Germany. This gives us some idea about cost even if Euro to US Dollar conversions are not reliable. The F800R will be sold for 8,900 Euro UPE (recommended price including 19% value added tax, freight and packaging) which is the same as the 2014 edition’s price. So expect US pricing to come in under $11,000. The new R1200R starts at 12,800 Euro in Germany which is 200 Euro more than 2014. The R1200R had an MSRP of $14,100 in the US in 2014. Meanwhile, the new R1200RS is 13,400 Euro in Germany — 600 Euro more than the Roadster — which probably puts the US price above $15,000. And finally, the S1000XR will be 15,200 Euro in Germany which is less than what the S1000RR sold for last year (2014: 16,950 Euro) but significantly more than the S1000R (2014: 12,800 Euro). So expect the XR price to come in under last year’s RR price of $15,150.

Below is BMW Motorrad USA’s announcement with all the models, pricing and equipment:

4. Metallic Paint Charge: With the introduction of Model Year 2015, there will be an additional charge for metallic paint. This is a new BMW Motorrad measure that is being implemented in all markets, effective with the model year change. Pricing for metallic paint allowed us to reduce to the overall model-year price increase, which benefits those customers who do not opt for metallic paint.

Metallic paint will be priced between $50 and $150, depending on the model and the size of the painted surface areas.

There are some models where metallic paint is not charged (e.g. R nineT) and models that offer a no-cost metallic paint option (e.g. C 650 GT); complete information is shown below in the detailed pricing sheets for each model.
